Why Pillow Maintenance Matters.

Pillow also falls into that category and requires maintenance as well. Here are a few reasons:

Health Benefits: It is essential to clean the pillow frequently to eradicate dust mites, allergens and bacteria that would otherwise give rise to respiratory issues and skin problems.

Extended Lifespan: Care of the used pillow helps to extend its lifetime to be able to still offer the necessary comfort and support.

Enhanced Comfort: Regular cleaning of the pillow cushions enhances its ability to maintain its shape and brightness thereby enhancing sleep quality and comfort.

Cleaning Your Pillow

Check the Care Label: Firstly, it is advisable to go through the care instructions that are attached to the pillow. This is due to the fact that the materials e.g. bugs, down, synthetic or any material should be appropriately laundered.

Remove Pillowcases and Covers: Pillowcases and summit covers that can be removed should be washed on a regular basis. Follow care instructions on temperature settings and types of detergents to prevent damage.

Wipe the Dirt Off: For fresh stains on the pillow itself, a mix of warm water and a fabric detergent should help with the stains. Tap the stained portion instead of rubbing.

Wash with a Machine: If your pillow case is marked machine washable, opt for the cold water gentle cycle only. Wash it thoroughly so that any detergent used is not left on it.

Drying: Pillow covers and interiors are made to air dry in order to keep their shape. Never use direct sunlight. Drying is acceptable for pillow covers in the dryer, on low heat.

Preserving your Pillow

Puff up frequently: Puff up the pillow each day so that it does not looses its shape and the filling is evenly dispersed. This is crucial for support and comfort.

Invest in pillow encasement: Use only quality encasements for pillows that will protect dust mites, and allergens, and fluids on them as well. This provides additional protection and can be removed and cleaned up easily. .

Don’t wait for too long to replace: Almost all pillows need to be replaced every one to two years, and even quicker if need arises. Supporting pillows will let you down over time with an old buildup of allergens.
